A Saturday Night Live sketch called "Let Kids Drink" prompted a minor controversy on social media on Saturday night, with some saying the parody went too far while others defended it as a joke.
The bit, which took the form of a musical public service announcement, introduced a "special rule" at home timed to Mother's Day and the coronavirus quarantine, when "it's been a hard-ass time for families," castmember Beck Bennett sang in one lyric. "Let kids drink / just like mom and dad / if they got a little buzz on, would it really be that bad?" castmembers sang as a refrain. "Just a couple sips / they'll be happier and funnier / and they'll fall asleep by six," another lyric went.
